Zotero kills Word

joephir
I've been happily working with Zotero in Word2002 (Zotero version 1.0.3, plugin version 1.0b3). After working fine for a while the plugin started making Word crash (as soon as I try to insert a access a new reference or edit an old one). This happens also on an empty document. I tried reinstalling, reinstalling manually. Nothing works. I really don't want to go back to Endnote.

    I have the same problem. Zotero kills Word (2007) every time I try to use it. Clicking on ANY icon in the toolbar leads to a non responding state of the application. This started happening just very recently. I've tried uninstalling, installing Zotero and the plugin (1.0b3), upgrading Firefox.... I even removed the anti-virus program which was the only thing I recently added to my computer.
    Windows Vista SP1, FF 3b5, Word 2007 SP1 (maybe SP1 caused this?) Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    Thirding this. I'm also using Vista SP1, FF2, Word 2007. It works on my older computer that uses XP.

    Still unsolved.
    Added detail: I am using Windows XP. It worked fine on my old computer, also XP machine.
